My bible study message (to me) today is ...
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT (about your fears and anxieties) AND TRUST GOD meditate, recount and declare (to yourself) who God is ... then ...
then and only then ... ______ and remember He knows you and He loves you. Draw near to God even (or perhaps especially) when being disciplined and trained is hard. He is working out His Good and Perfect will in you so don't pull away or allow complaint or dismay to push you from God's work. Submit yourself to The Lord and Trust in Him; He will teach you and guide you as you acknowledge Him in *ALL* your ways and lean into Him.
key verses below
The one who guards his mouth protects his life; the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin. (Proverbs 13:3 HCSB)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths. Don’t consider yourself to be wise; fear the Lord and turn away from evil. This will be healing for your body and strengthening for your bones. Honor the Lord with your possessions and with the first produce of your entire harvest; then your barns will be completely filled, and your vats will overflow with new wine. Do not despise the Lord’s instruction, my son, and do not loathe His discipline; for the Lord disciplines the one He loves, just as a father, the son he delights in. (Proverbs 3:5-12 HCSB)
